A Few More Christmas Cards

Here are a few more Christmas cards using PTI sets. The first uses Merry and Bright Additions. That little flourish tree stand is too, too pretty and adds just the right touch here. This would be an easy and inexpensive card to mass produce.

The next card uses Take a Bough with the masking and stippling technique I used HERE.

The last card uses a very basic CAS layout for Merry and Bright, with the added interest of popping up the parts of the bigger tree. I love the touch of bling with the rhinestones and the simple punched star.

These three cards all have a different "feel" to them, even though they use stamp sets that are roughly in the same style, with crisp, solid images. Which "feel" do you prefer? Elegant/flourished, natural/organic, or stylized/clean? Inquiring minds want to know.

LOVE them all for different reasons...but my favorite is the third one! LOVE the cut out and popped up tree out front and the BLING with the red ribbon is PERFECT!!! I have to know which is your favorite? :D

I really like all of these, but my favorite is the second one. I like the way you masked it to create a background behind your branch and oranment. I would say that I usually tend towards natural/organic first, then stylized/clean. I don't think I make a lot of elegant cards.
